Abstract

What should the governments of the Arab and Muslims countries do in order to combat AIDS? This is the main question handled by this paper which was submitted to the symposium held by the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences (IOMS) in Kuwait during the period 6-8 December 1993 on AIDS and its social problems. The author proposes the broad lines of a governmental policy, inspired by Islamic ethics, for combating AIDS. To him, this policy should primarily focus on promoting the ethics of decency and abhorring sexual promiscuity.
